I would much rather have my mother around for more of my life than a greater inheritance, to me that is worth so much more. Also, you say a benefit to having older parents is they can afford better education. That may be the case, but when I was working a full time job all through college I can tell you that there was a much higher incentive for me to do well than the kids whose mommy's and daddy's were paying for everything. I graduated with honors from a state school and now have a very successful career. I may not have been able to afford private schools, but the work ethic I learned having to support myself through college is so much more valuable. [/quote]

And I would much rather be here to share even only 30-40 years of my life with my mother than to have her choose not to have had me because she was too old.  And for the record,  My mother was 33 when I was born and I am the poster who was 46 when my kids were born.  My mother is 80 and my MIL are 81 and are still extremely happy with their twin toddler grandchildren.  My father is 86 (he was 39 when I was born) and still moderately active. Both grandmothers are in reasonably good  health at this point in time and in no danger of failing health in the near future.[/quote]
